A woman just rang my doorbell to tell me I hadn’t voted in the local by-election yet.
As it happens, I voted at seven fifteen this morning.
“I voted at seven fifteen this morning,” I said.
“Oh,” she responded, looking a bit confused, “we don’t have you on our EARS list.”
“EARS?”
“Yes. When you vote, it goes into the system, and it comes up on our computer if you haven’t voted.”
